I just bought a magnesium tablets 250mg, how many I should take a day?What is good to take with E, C vitamins? any other vitamins that I shouldn't take magnesium together? What is the benefits of the Magnesium?

I have to tell a magnesium story. My hairdresser told me about how exhausted she was and her blood pressure was high and she had these weird feelings in her head and couldn't sleep. She had me use my cuff to recheck her blood pressure and it was very high even tho she was on medication. Her doctor told her it was stress and put her on anti anxiety medication as well. She's an O. I told her about the diet, the evils of wheat, loaned her my cardiovascular BTD book and also told her that many people with high blood pressure are deficient in magnesium. Six weeks later she was the same, wanted to see an endocrinologist first to have her hormones checked. I gently reminded her about the diet and magnesium. She asked to keep the book a little longer. A few weeks later she left a message on my phone saying she had been taking the magnesium for two weeks and all her symptoms are gone!!! And that she owed me her health. She told my husband she wanted to kiss my feet!!! I think I'll ask for a free pedicure instead of the kisses. Her shop is in an uproar. She said she is going to write that doctor a letter.

I take 600 mg of magnesium each evening-I did start with the low dose- and after 2 weeks took the higher dose.From LRT "type B┤s risk having deficiencies in magnesium in part because you assimilate calcium so efficiently.Coincidently overweight individuals especially those with extreme poor sugar handling capabilities are often deficient.!

Remember not all magnesium is created Equal !Magnesium oxide is NOT a good source - it comes out again- used against constipation.

maybe take calcium in the morning and magnesium at night since I have heard that they compete or cancel each other....I guess in China they take equal amounts of each, while here we take more calcium....I tend to think its better to take equal amounts....sorry that I don't know how to tell a "good" brand....

this is what I've always read and heard...........recently I was specifically told by someone (don't remember who or in what thread) here that citrate is NOT a good form of mag or cal, that it's only used so much because it's cheap. I'd really love this cleared up once and for all. Anyone know? and have substantial 'evidence'?
